Online Videos for using and accessing myNelson Resources There are several PD videos posted at http://www.nelson.com/onsciencepd. The videos are intended for use by both teachers and students. Teachers can share the link with students to help them learn to use the resources as well and then you don't have to spend as much time teaching the how to's of the online interface.

Gr 11 Gas Laws
-Learning Goals, Success Criteria & Peer- and Self-Assessment Checklists for the Gas Unit
-Sample 3 Part Lesson Plan: Using Learning Goals, co-constructing success criteria, and plan an inquiry around the behaviour of gases
using the "Ivory Soap in a Microwave" demo to spark ideas, students generate their own inquiry question (scaffolded via the Smarter Science "Steps to Inquiry" posters), and using a "Bansho" strategy, students share their results and the teacher facilitates a discussion to lead into the gas laws (Expectations: A1.5, A1.6, A1.8, A1.10, F2.1, F2.2, F2.3)
Reactions of Alkanes and Alkenes - PowerPoint Demo -to illustrate the reactions of alkanes and alkenes with a halogen-I've used this as an intro demo to reactions since we didn't have the reagents and it was a great way to get students to think about what they were seeing.-I have added teacher notes to each slide of the PowerPoint and a summary on the first slide
An alternative for Making Aspirin: "Acetic anhydride works well because forming acetic acid is thermodynamically favorable relative to the starting anhydride. If you use acetic acid, you'll form water as a product instead, which is not as thermodynamically favorable relative to the acid and alcohol starting materials. Nevertheless, it can work, particularly from glacial acetic acid. an analogous reaction between methanol and salicylic acid to produce methyl salicylate works fine. i would expect a lower yield, which might make an interesting class experiment."

For its part, NSTA is developing middle and high school chemistry lessons that will be coupled with historical news coverage, documentary materials, and current news broadcasts from NBC News, as well as resources from other contributors.
They’ll place the raw lessons on the NSTA blog to make it easy for chemistry educators to download and modify them for use.
